Sorry! I am still new, I havent made a tiny example yet... some of the features of FlexScores only work with 2.16.2, so that is why Hymnary still uses it.

Subject: responses in hymn tunes?

 

Hello all,

I have a very specific problem I am running into of how to add a tenor response within the repeat of a hymn tune when there is also a response in the verses. Here is the hymn and my code. (I just copied everything... sorry if it is too much!)

 

When I have this situation, I create a lyric that has only the response.

 

I then I create a music line that has only the notes for the response (and actually, the pitches don’t matter).

 

Then, put the music line for the response into a nullVoice so the notes won’t show.

 

Finally, do \lyricsto to the nullVoice  with the response lyrics.

 

However, it appears that 2.16 does not have nullVoice (I’d push hymnary.org to move to 2.22 – but that may be impossible).  I believe you can use devNull instead of nullVoice with 2.16.

 

If you had given us a tiny example , ( https://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html ) I would have shown you an example. But this file is much too big for me to spend the time to work it out for you.

 

Best,

 

Carl
